Character classes are only as useful as the player controlling them. All three classes have their own uses, and each of them have an important part to play, in VoG and otherwise. Sounds to me like someone got wrecked with arc blade one too many times in the crucible and decided to hold a grudge. On the subject of exotics and legendaries, the same can be said; All those pretty gears and weapons mean nothing if the player using them is trash. Let your skill speak for itself. Unless you get paid to play this game, you aren't 'pro'.
